Do you remember printing in 2000? Literally every printer was suffering from constant paper jams and other mechanical malfunctions. In 2020 a top consumer or business printer will not jam on you. The business printers in 2000 had slow proc

My biggest investment returns have been from doing exactly what you are saying. However I only notice opportunities like this every few years. Obviously there are more opportunities than what I am perceiving in my industry.

I disagree that if a bank in _generic foreign country_ doesn’t work with _us agency_ we should start politically pressuring the _generic foreign country_. Sure, while we do this we will start catching loop holing billionaires, but we will a

Really? The US Army is a fantastic innovator and business partner to have. If I could choose a single customer based solely on business value of the relationship the US Department of Defense might be it.

The entire point of war is that collectively one group of people are willing to kill the other group of people over an argument. The value of a life isn’t universal. Some lives are worth more than others, both to individuals and to collect

There are a ton of loopholes involving foreign banks. It’s more complex than “just tax it.” How do you tax income in a foreign bank if the bank doesn’t respond to IRS’s request for information?

Bobiverse has lots of _good_ physics, especially around astromechanics, but also lots of questionable, bad, and unexplained physics. Specifically the FTL communications and the clone personality differences exist entirely for plot reasons,

I have a small feature request after using this product. When showing how many points another user has, such as next to a comment they made, it would be better to show their entire net worth of points (if they sold everything how many point

There seems to be a maximum amount of points any one person can invest in a prediction right now. There is a cap of a 10 share stake in any single prediction and a cap of 99 points per any share. This cap will prevent power players from p

To me this is about a group of laws being passed in Seattle that raise wages for labor and tax corporations. Seattle has a very long history of such laws. Corporations keep expanding in Seattle and people keep moving to Seattle because it

Seattle doesn’t have this problem at all. You solve this problem by not enacting these rules where they don’t make sense. Seattle does have a ton of Uber drivers that work 60+ hours a week and are barely making ends meet.

Everyone predicts doom and gloom when Seattle enacts a progressive policy. Seattle’s economy is still doing well. I view this as essentially fixing a loop hole around their existing minimum wage laws.

I studied computer science at a state university. It is fully accredited, but otherwise has very little prestige. Maybe 25% of the students in the program were there to learn how to make video games. They weren’t there to get a job in mak

Let me sell it to you. On average a college graduate will have one million dollars more of lifetime earnings than a high school graduate. This one million dollars will be taxed at at least twelve percent federally. Twelve percent is a ver

I think university should exist for “learning for the sake of learning” and that “everyone should go to college.” I don’t think it’s incompatible. I think someone becoming more educated has a lot of positive externalities. I think the li

“There are a million ways to make money.” I’m a highly skilled, highly experienced individual. I never have to do anything I don’t want to in order to keep a roof over my head, food on my table, and even a handful of expensive hobbies. I

This is my single largest complaint about the PNW. Not only are the days short in the winter, but the sun is constantly behind cloud cover. You can literally go months without experiencing direct sunlight.

Instagram has poor customer support.

Well, no one is taking over my instagram account because I don’t have one, but it does indicate some people are taking over accounts with no recourse.

Is this hearsay or is there proof? Aside from @danny saying it was from an fb employee, there’s nothing else to indicate it was, and I wouldn’t trust the word of a hacker/recipient of a hacked account.

As a PhD student this is heavily dependent on what grants you can get. Glass door says the average student salary is $27k, so $5k less than median salary in the US and less than half of what a high school teacher makes. A PhD graduate make

Does it really matter if students change degree programs or go after an additional lower degree level than they already have? Being a student is still a full time time occupation, the university is extracting increased tuition from interna

I think the best way to stop belief in conspiracy theories is to decrease the number of real conspiracies. From Watergate to Epstein it’s shown that people in power commonly abuse their own power. From Enron to Purdue Pharma it’s shown tha

There are a lot of merits to an SUV over a crossover/minivan. The SUV will be able to hold more cargo — you can tow a boat or a small trailer. An SUV will be able to handle off road situations much better —- perfect for taking the fa

Not only do I think a national ban on SUVs and pickups will be politically impossible in the next 10 years, I think it’s a terrible idea. If you think it’s likely to happen you should spend more time out of whatever urban core you live in.

I expect Facebook to be a winner out of VR. Quest and quest2 show they know how to make hardware. Facebook login required shows they are investing heavy in the social network aspect. VR is stuck in gaming right now, but it’s value is so
